FARLEY, Iowa (KCRG) – A retired West Dubuque coach is finding out how much support he has in the community as he tries to recover from infections that required both of his hips to be removed.
Our coverage partner KCRG reports a steak dinner and auction benefit in Farley Friday night brought together people trying to help former Western Dubuque football and wrestling coach Rob Hoerner.
Since he was 37 he’s had several hip replacement surgeries. He also fought colon cancer in 2015. But since December, he’s been hospitalized after both hips were removed so doctors could treat an infection
Hoerner’s family says they’re humbled by the donations that will go towards covering medical expenses and lost wages any surplus of donations will.
